Review:
This is my first book by Samantha Chase, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. What I got was a good story with complex characters and a solid storyline. My one complaint was the sex between the characters was glossed over. I tend to expect at least one scene between the hero and heroine, and while this story said they had been intimate, I feel that the connection would have been stronger for me if it hadn’t been glossed over. Overall solid story that I enjoyed and I will be reading more from this author.
Read an excerpt from GLAM SQUAD & GROOMSMEN
For a
minute, he thought she was going to scream and the expression on her face said
that she certainly hadn’t been expecting him.
Actually, he hadn’t been expecting her either. His plan had been to come in for a tuxedo
fitting – something he was seriously jumping the gun for Eva’s wedding – and
figured it would be a legit excuse to see Penny. He’d casually stop in at the bridal shop and
say hello and then…
“Spencer? What are you doing here?”
He gave
her a lopsided grin. “Doing a test run
on tuxedoes to help Eva and Brett out.”
At first
he didn’t think she believed him, but then she visibly relaxed. “Oh.
Okay.”
“So what
are you doing in the tuxedo shop? I
didn’t think you worked in here too.”
She
quickly explained about the owner needing to get home to a sick child – again –
and then she stepped away and began to explain to him about the tuxedo options
that had been pulled for him.
If he didn’t know any better, he’d swear she was nervous and that
pleased him a little. If she was nervous
around him, that meant that she wasn’t unaffected by him – or by their kiss.
Good to know.
Because
kissing Penny had been all he could think about all week. He should be back in Atlanta right now.
But he
wasn’t.
He
should be working on reports for the building he was designing.
But he
wasn’t.
What he was doing was trying on tuxedoes when he
didn’t need to just on the off-chance he could see her again. How twisted was that?
By now
Penny was standing next to a dressing room and holding a tuxedo hanger in her
hand. “Martin already placed a shirt and
shoes in the fitting room for you,” she said, “and this is the first tux he
pulled for you to consider based on your measurements.”
“I never
gave him my measurements,” Spencer said.
“Um…what?”
He
nodded. “All I did was call and ask if I
could come in and try some on,” he explained.
“No one asked for any sizes or measurements. I guess I can try this on and we can go from
there, right?”
Then he
watched as her shoulders sagged and she sighed.
But she immediately went back into sales mode and gave him a nice but
professional smile. “Okay, we’ll need to
get your measurements first. No need for
you to try to fit into a suit that isn’t your size. That’s just crazy.” She stepped away and hung up the suit she had
in her hands. “Why don’t you step up on
the platform over there by the mirror and I’ll go get the measuring tape.”
Wait…measuring
tape? Couldn’t he just tell her what
size he normally wore? That would
certainly make things easier – especially since Brett hadn’t made any decisions
on tuxedos and he wasn’t planning on ordering anything tonight. Then again, if he did happen to go in that
direction, there’d be no need for him to stand up on the platform for
measurements. And that would mean…
“Just
step up on there and face the mirror,” she said. “I’ll need to make a note of your shirt and
sleeve size, waist, outseam…”
Then he
felt bad for giving her extra work.
“Wouldn’t it be easier to give you at least some of my sizes so you
don’t have to go through all of this?” he asked and hated that he was quite
possibly depriving himself of some extra time with her.
“Under
normal circumstances, yes,” she explained.
“But for this sort of thing, we require specific measurements. Every designer is cut just a litter
differently so it makes everyone’s job easier to just go by what the measuring
tape says.”
“Ah…gotcha.” Doing his best to hide a grin, he simply
stood and did as he was told as Penny’s hands roamed all over him – in a
completely professional way – as she took the needed measurements.
Best.
Friday. Night. Ever.
At
first, he felt all kinds of wrong that even though there was nothing sexy about
what she was doing, it was still mildly arousing – her hand skimming down his
leg…her arms wrapped around him to get his waist measurements…
He
cursed the fact that they were in the middle of a tuxedo shop and that he had
on so many damn clothes!
Once she
was done, she moved around the shop and pulled tuxes in his size and then sent
him back to the dressing room to start trying them on.
They
didn’t talk about much – she kept all of the conversation focused on Eva and
Brett and their wedding and tuxedo style questions. Not that he cared. Basically, this was all going to be Brett’s
decision and right now, Brett had no idea that Spencer was even looking at
tuxes.
No one
did.
If his
sister caught wind of what he was doing, he knew he’d get her approval and
possibly her help. And as much as he
knew he was going to need some of that where Penny was concerned, he wanted to
do it in his own time and in his own way.
He just
never thought trying on tuxedos was a length he’d ever have to go through in
order to spend time with a woman.
“Let me
know how that first one fits,” Penny called out to him.
And as
he closed the dressing room door, he figured he had at least an hour to try to
break down some of her defenses and convince her to go out with him again.
